Upload Files Bindings

Upload Files Bindings

Is there documentation for the values returned through the bindings panel for example:

<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["clientFileName"]; ?>
<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>
<?php echo ($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverSimpleFileName"]); ?>

I am uploading photos and creating multiple sizes and naming the files according to size.

Example:

Original uploaded filename is 1823635.jpg

Uploaded and renamed versions:
1823635_photo1_150px.jpg
1823635_photo1_300px.jpg
1823635_photo1_600px.jpg
1823635_photo1_orig.jpg

I want to insert into the database only the first portion of the original filename "1823635" without "_photo1_150px.jpg" or an extention.

I then want to access the images on the page using...
<img src="images/<?php echo $row_rsFeature['photo1']; ?>_photo1_600px.jpg" />

Thanks,

Jack

You may want to look into using Image resizer instead to begin with and only store the original image.

The advantage to that is that you don't have to limit yourself to one of 4 images like your current implementation. If later you decided you wanted a 200px version or a 185px version you would be stuck with a complex update of your database and existing records, but with image resizer you just change the size on the page and the rest of the work is done for you.

Here is a video that talks about how image resizer works: watch?v=FzQO0EX8A9I

Anyway if you wanted just that portion of the image you would probably have to parse it out:

<?php echo(substr($test,0,strrpos($WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"],"_"))); ?>



That would give you everything up to the last underscore in the server file name, which I think would work for what you are trying to do.
